LDCad 1.7 Beta 2b (win+linux)

[Roland Melkert]

I've released LDCad 1.7 Beta 2b.

This version fixes three bugs:

- Part snapping not working when using an unpacked library.
- Potential crash during part editing combined with include meta's.
- Potential dead lock (program hangs) during mass file close.

It also includes the latest shadow library as found on github.

As always you can get the latest version at:

Thanks Roland. I use LDCad daily and really appreciate your work on it.

In the new part bin I am missing some parts that were available in previous releases of LDCad:

Category Sorted | Technic | Connectors and Pins
- Technic Axle Pin (3749.dat)
- Technic Axle Pin with Friction with  2L Axle (17651.dat)
- Technic Axle Pin with Friction with  2L Pin (11214.dat)
- Technic Axle Pin without Friction with  2L Axle (65249.dat)
- Technic Axle Pin with Friction (43093.dat)

and some other parts with keyword "axle".

In the new part bin I am missing some parts that were available in previous releases of LDCad:

Someone mailed me about this problem just a couple of days ago.

It seems my attempt to declutter has resulted in some unintended excludes.

I will address this in the next version, but you can also fix it yourself thanks to the new part bin filter group editor.

Like so:

While the 'connectors and pins' group is visible in the part bin open its menu and select 'edit'

This will open a dialogue that lets you edit the pbg. 

In its rules section add ",axle pin" to the line starting with "keep" so it reads:

keep description axle towball,axle pin

Then click accept, this should readd your missing parts.

This fix worked for me. Thanks!
